Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Mentor Recognition/Utilizing Team Roster/Scholarship Opportun

This was asked for so many ways last year that we all got three certificates & pins each!

The names were misspelled different ways on each certificate, so we could tell they were generated from different lists. I'm pretty sure FIRST asked so many times that different team members ended up responding.
I submitted (Main Contact), my Alternate submitted, and our student president submitted.
I know one of the lists was from Championships in Atlanta, because the unique misspellings can be traced to a particular student.

I don't like how the TIMS system takes mentors, because I can't double check to see if I've included everyone. I entered them a couple of months ago, but haven't seen anything come back in TIMS.

P.S.

I also predict that I'll never be able to click this button in TIMS:
Roster Done? Please confirm that the roster of student team members is complete and accurate, and that all Consent & Release forms have been completed.
There's no control I can exercise over the student or parent to insure that they both complete the online form. Right now I only have one completed and three incomplete forms and I can't tell who to nag about what.
